Solar/SolarOps
SolarOps by Gigabit

A solar back office that runs while your team is on the roof.

Solar-trained specialists, backed by automation, handle job packs, distributor approvals, STC paperwork, customer updates and Xero. They work inside your systems and under your name.

The short answer

Solar jobs now fail in the paperwork, not on the roof.

Since June 2026 the Clean Energy Regulator has made retailers and agents check that the installer in every onsite selfie is the one who attended. Battery certificates are tiered by size, and the factor steps down on 1 January 2027. One missing photo, a late distributor approval or a wrong serial number holds up payment. SolarOps checks every job pack before it is lodged and keeps each job moving through approvals. If a rejection is our error, we fix it the same day at no charge.

What we handle

From signed quote to paid invoice

Pick the parts you want. Most installers start with job packs, approvals and the customer desk.

Sales admin and CRM

New jobs entered and checked, pipeline kept clean, proposals and contracts sent for signing, and CRM setup if yours needs it.

Customer desk

Confirmations, reminders, pre-install calls and chasing missing details by email, SMS and phone, from your own number.

Install photo and paperwork checks

Every day's photos, selfies, serials and battery labels checked against the regulator's rules before anything is lodged.

Distributor approvals and grid connection

Pre-approvals and connection steps in your distributor portals, tracked to their deadlines.

STC and rebate packs

Certificate and rebate paperwork prepared and checked in your STC agent's app, ready for you or your agent to sign.

Electrical safety and EWR preparation

Certificates and Electrical Works Requests prepared from the job file for your electricians to complete and sign.

Xero bookkeeping

Bills and receipts coded, payments and STC trades reconciled, and invoices drafted for your approval.

A weekly report

Jobs moved, approval times, rejections and why, and what is waiting on whom.

SolarOps · FAQ

SolarOps questions

Where is your team based?

In Dhaka, Bangladesh. Specialists work Australian east-coast hours, from mid-morning into the evening, and earlier starts can be arranged. They join your Teams, Slack, WhatsApp or email and follow your checklists.

Can your team call our customers under our name, with an Australian number?

Yes. They call and text from your own Australian number through your cloud phone system, such as Aircall, RingCentral or 3CX. They use their own first name as part of your team and make service calls only: confirmations, reminders and chasing details.

Is there a minimum term or notice period?

The first 30 days are a pilot. At day 30 you continue, change or stop with no notice due. After that it is month to month with 30 days' notice.

How does the pilot work?

We pick two or three workflows with you, often photo and paperwork checks, distributor pre-approvals and customer confirmations. We write the checklists, run them on live jobs and send a weekly report. There is no setup fee.

What is the difference between a part-time seat and a dedicated specialist?

A part-time seat covers 20 hours a week and suits one function. A dedicated specialist works 40 hours a week on your jobs only, with backup cover for leave. A pod adds a second specialist and a lead for higher volumes.

Do you lodge STC claims for us?

We prepare and check the claim pack in your STC agent's app so it is complete before submission. You or your agent make the declaration, because the scheme requires it.

Which systems do you work in?

Solar CRMs and job software, distributor portals, Solar Victoria and other rebate portals, STC agent apps, Xero and MYOB. If you use a tool we haven't worked in, we learn it while writing your checklists and say so up front.

How do you keep our data safe?

We work in your accounts with access you control through a password manager, and you can revoke it at any time. We sign a data agreement covering the Privacy Act before we see customer details.
